Yeah your mileage will vary greatly depending on your requirements. A couple of years ago I owned a very high-traffic, media-oriented website. Bandwidth costs were my highest cost, not compute or storage. I explored moving to something cloud-based and the cost increase just on bandwidth per GB would have been enough to put me out of business. Yes this was including a paid Cloudflare / CDN account sitting in front of my servers. I considered a "hybrid" model where I would keep bare metal servers for distributing media but move compute and persistence to "the cloud" but just couldn't really justify it on cost alone. The replication and auto-scaling would have been nice, and were the major selling points, but wasn't a high enough ROI for me.
